Sheepherds! casts players as dogs guiding fluffy flocks through colorful flower fields, where sheep can be gathered and their wool dyed before it is made into clothes. Its cooperative setup supports both local couch play and online sessions, giving friends a choice of how to share the shepherding. The game is built around a relaxed, playful outing rather than a race against the clock.
The flock has its own logic: sheep follow and influence one another, so players can steer their movement by choosing where to stand and when to bark. There is no mandatory division of tasks or time limit, and difficulty can be adjusted between levels to suit a group’s preferred pace. Optional challenges offer a more demanding way to test skill and teamwork, while remaining an alternative to simply taking things easy together.
Between herding trips, players can spend time in a big field, take photos with friends, read letters from grandma, or try her mini-games. Unlockable treats can be exchanged for accessories, outfits, and skins for a chosen sheepdog, with 24 breeds available.
